Vick, i'm sure it can be adapted. Whether or not it will be useable is 
another question. The throat of the Xpan lens mount isn't that large, so 
lenses that are closer to telecentric design such as the Leica 30 will 
vignette a lot. This is already seen with adapted Nikkor 28mm PC lenses, 
which are not nearly as strongly retrofocus.

Secondly, how would you adjust the aperture?
